If fracking for natural gas causes aquifer water to go boom...

...why havent the gas companies and environmentalists alike suggested using fraction tower distillaries at the water well heads to fraction off the volitile elements in the water?

Folks use water filters to remove solid impurities and conditions to remedy hard water and distilleries of all sizes and complexity are used to make water potable.

While a fraction tower distilling unit is a bit complicated, its not overly complicated and often no larger than a hand held fire extinquisher.

Seems it would be a logical in line hardware clarification sequence to impiment in areas where well water has been contaminated from natural gas fracturing.

The natural gas fraction tower distilled/refined from well water might even possibly be routed to a fuel tank to hybridly power the well pump also.

I wonder why the media doesn't adress possibilities as this instead of just showing videos of land owners filling water jugs , shaking them and using a cigarette lighter to make the jug go "boom" [insert mental over the top sarcasm icon here because a just isn't sarcastic enough for this poke at news media going for strictly entertainment awe effect only ]


Yes our nation needs afforably harvested natural gas and yes ,well water users need safe potable water. Surely we have enough great minds left in this country to achieve an effective solution to both sides of the issue.

Tis all bull . We have hashed the fracking business a dozen times . Bet the no drill crowd hunts ever bad water well there is . Places in Ky it is easier to find small gas wells than water
